passwords and internet scurity

[redadmiralsinthegarden]

for example, if i set up my Amazon account to remember my password, does that mean that someone else on another computer can log in using my email address, and they will automatically be able to access my account?

Yes. Which is fine if you trust everyone who has access to your computer, but...

thanks vviola. but what if the person is on another computer?

No, definitely not. It would be a massive security risk. Just to make sure, I just tried to log in to my Amazon account from my iPad, with just my email. I couldn't

There's an awful lot of 'justs' in that sentence

oh thanks, Rindercella! that's a relief!
i've obviously been awake too long - you know how random thoughts occur to you in the early hours

Sorry, totally misread your question & thought you were talking about the same computer and I can't even blame it on being awake in the middle of the night!

No as the previous poster said, not if it's on a different computer. Only if it's the same one.
